Take Texas Again

The
thought of Texas leaving the Union is something to which I have given much
time. Can you imagine what it would be like?by Charlie
Leck

There’s been
another call down in Texas for the state to withdraw from the Union. It happens
every time Texas gets spanked in an election. Texas is too big for its
britches. Frankly, I wouldn’t give a damn if Texas left the gathering of
states. Perhaps it could petition for inclusion in Mexico.

I wrote about
this very thing a number of years ago, so I won’t do it again. You can read it
here, if you want to: Take Texas:
Please!

This time the
idea comes from the treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party. It was first
reported by the Fort Worth Star Telegram.
The letter of the party treasurer, Peter Morrison, included the following….

“Texas was once its own country, and many Texans already
think in nationalist terms about their state. We need to do everything possible
to encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why should Vermont
and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her own way in peace,
sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this gut-wrenching
spectacle every four years,”

About Me

I write these blogs to leave behind a full picture of me for my grandchildren. I had no such snapshot of my own grandparents and what they believed and how they thought. Ad Astra, you probably know, is Latin for To the Stars. Without being literal about it, it's my final destination (where I "shall forever sit, triumphing over death, and chance, and Thee, O Time").
